Terms and conditions

Updated on November 7, 2026. Version 1.0.

By using the website devirbordado.space, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. To learn how we handle personal data and cookies, read the Privacy policy and the Cookie policy.

1. About the site

Devir Bordado is an independent, author-led laboratory for research, creation and documentation about embroidery, memory and symbols. Its position is institutional and intellectual, not commercial: the site does not sell products or services.

2. Authorship and licenses

The content is authored by Iara Lima, unless stated otherwise.

Site code: MIT license. You may use, copy and adapt it, keeping the license notice.
Texts, photographs and PDFs: Creative Commons CC BY-NC 4.0. You may share and adapt, as long as you give credit, indicate whether changes were made and do not use it for commercial purposes.
Publications: the documents in the Publications section have their own license, stated in each record, which prevails over the general license above. Articles and preprints follow the license adopted by the journal or repository (usually CC BY); institutional documents, such as the Institutional Architecture, are CC BY-NC-ND. The site shows the record and links to the original document, where it is hosted.
Visual identity (name, logo, symbol and brand): all rights reserved. They may not be altered or used without written permission. The name Devir Bordado is in the process of being registered as a trademark.
Third-party materials (quotations, images, works mentioned) keep their original licenses and rights, and are not covered by the license above.

Some blog covers are generated by artificial intelligence from the author’s photographs or embroideries, and this is stated in each image’s caption.

To cite a text, use the author credit, title, date and page address. Publications carry a record with the suggested citation in ABNT and APA.

3. Using the site

You may read, share with credit and use the content and tutorials to study, teach and create, without commercial purposes, according to the licenses. It is not allowed to:

use the content commercially without permission;
present the lab’s work as someone else’s;
try to compromise the site’s security or overload it, including with bots;
send automated, advertising or unlawful messages.

4. Comments

Comments go through moderation before they appear. We may refuse or remove comments that are offensive, discriminatory, unlawful, promotional or off-topic. You are responsible for what you write. By submitting, you authorize the display of your comment and the name you give on the site, indefinitely, until you ask for removal. The email is not displayed.

By subscribing, you consent to receive emails from Devir Bordado and can unsubscribe at any time through the link in each message. The newsletter is free.

Consent for statistics cookies is requested in the cookie notice and can be changed at any time through the “Manage cookies” link in the footer. It is independent of using the site: declining does not limit access to the content.

7. Financial support

Supporting the lab is voluntary and done through Ko-fi or Patreon, third-party services with their own terms and policies. Supporting does not transfer rights over the site’s content nor create any obligation to deliver a product or service.

8. External links and embedded content

The site contains links and players from third parties (for example, YouTube and Spotify) over which we have no control. Their content, availability and policies are the responsibility of those who maintain them.

9. Copyright and takedown requests

We respect Brazil’s Copyright Law (Law No. 9,610/1998). If you believe any material on the site infringes your rights, write to contato@devirbordado.space stating which material, the page address and the reason. We will review the request promptly and, where appropriate, correct or remove the content.

10. Nature of the texts

The texts are reflections and ongoing research on embroidery, symbols, tarot, plants and other subjects, and reflect the author’s view at the date they were written. They do not replace medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. Information about plants is cultural and research-oriented, and is not an indication of medicinal or food use.

11. Availability and liability

The site is offered as is. We may change, suspend or withdraw content at any time. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of the site or its unavailability, without prejudice to the rights the law guarantees you.

12. Changes and governing law

We may update these terms; the date and version appear at the top of the page, and continued use of the site after a change indicates that you accept it. These terms are governed by the laws of Brazil. Contact: contato@devirbordado.space.
